Putnam's Sons will, by arrangement with Messrs Trubner, publish an American edition of the book "The Autobiography of Mark Rutherford." A recent bulletin of the Census Office shows the distribution of the population with reference to the mean annual rainfall and the rainfall of the spring and summer months. Daniel F. Tredwell, of Brooklyn, has published a "Monograph," on privately illustrated books, which will be found none the less pleasant reading because of the occasional exuberance and inaccuracy of the style.

The article presents information related to several books. Never was the reproach of inconsistency more unjustly leveled at a public man than at the statesman Carl Schurz. Again and again the note of true consistency in political life rings in Schurz's public utterances. Schurz's amiable personal characteristics, unconsciously revealed in his book "Reminiscences," live in the memory of those who knew him best. Meredith Nicholson has written the book "Otherwise Phyllis." In this book the narrative proper begins at the moment when the protagonist Phyllis emerges from girlhood into womanhood. In the book entitled "Unpath'd Waters," by Frank Harris, the suggestion of the title is borne out by a certain oddity in the tales and sketches.

This article focuses on various books. In the book "The Value and Destiny of the Individual," by B. Bosanquet, the writer says that the principle of individuality is just the opposite of the principle of individualism and as for the value or destiny of the individual, that is precisely not his affair. The book "Success," by Una L. Silberrad is deficient in the commodities of popular romance. Its young man is a genius, to be sure, but not in the ordinary line. Being merely a mechanical engineer, he cannot be charged with that famous temperament with which novelists are so fond of dealing. The article also talks about the books, "Wallingford in His Prime," by George Randolph Chester and "A Small Boy and Others," by Henry James.

Lummis. The Open Court Publishing Company, announce "The Redemption of the Brahman," a novel by Richard Garbe. The book "A Gentleman of France," by Stanley J.

The article presents information related to the books to be published. A. Lawrence Lowell's "Public Opinion and Popular Government" is soon to appear. It is a number of the American citizen series. The Yak University Press has in preparation two new historical works, "Puritan and West Indian Colonization," by Arthur P. Newton, and "Studies in Taxation Under John and Henry III," by S.K. Mitchell. The same press will issue "The Pulpit and the Pew," by Charles H. Parkhurst, and a volume of poems by Brian Hooker.

Henry Holt & Co; announce for publication "Bransford in Arcadia, or the Little Eohippus," by Eugene Manlove Rhodes. The book "Horace Walpole's World," by Alice Drayton is fairly cast in the conventional mould of mixed memoirs, but it shows the hand of the professional writer and much more knowledge than is found in the ordinary amateurish exploitations of the age.

The article presents notes related to publication of books. Dr. John MacCunn is bringing out with Edward Arnold "The Political Philosophy of Burke."

More's "Shelburne Essays" comes from the press of Houghton Muffin Co. and bears a distinct title, "The Drift of Romanticism." Henry Frowde, the publisher to the University of Oxford, is at his own wish retiring on the March 31, 1913 after thirty-nine years' active work as manager of the London business of the Oxford University Press.

The article focuses on three books: "The Life of Abraham Lincoln," by William E. Barton; "Lincoln the Litigant," by William H. Townsend and "Abraham Lincoln," by Graf Albrecht Montgelas. In two volumes of the first book author Barton assembles the conclusions of nearly fifty years of personal investigation. Barton makes public for the first time the information that in 1859 U.S. President Abraham Lincoln purchased the insolvent Illinois Staats-Anzeiger, a German-American newspaper of Springfield and used it for eighteen months in behalf of his nomination for the Presidency, afterward reselling it to its former editor.

The article focuses on the book ""H.W.M." : A Selection From His Writings," edited by Harold J. Massingham. No selection from the writings, no introductory essays even from such intimates as J.L. Hammond, H.N. Brailsford, H.W. Nevinson and Benard Shaw, can explain the unique position held by Massingham among the English journalists. For though Massingham put more of his individuality into his written word than any other servant of the press, the subtle qualities of his intelligence and feeling could only be communicated in close personal intercourse. Moreover, the greater part of Massingham's active life was spent in the effervescence and evanescence of daily journalism, writing vivid parliamentary sketches and political leaders on the Daily Chronicle and Daily News.
